The Nether Lava Battle (21266) is a small LEGO Minecraft set that provides a build-and-play version of the popular video game. This Minecraft toy for 6 plus year old boys and girls features popular characters, fun locations and endless pretend-play action. Kids join Minecraft hero Alex on a mission in the crimson forest to remove ancient debris from a section of the Nether Fortress bridge. When the debris is removed, lava elements automatically cascade down, and Minecraft mobs – a stone-sword-wielding wither skeleton and a rod-spinning blaze – block Alex’s escape. Kids use an iconic diamond sword to battle the mobs before fleeing on another Minecraft figure, a strider, which features posable legs and a saddle. Minecraft players know they must grab hold of some warped fungus to be able to steer the strider. For extra digital fun, the LEGO Builder app lets kids zoom in and rotate models in 3D using their device. This set combines easily with other LEGO Minecraft sets (sold separately) for even more play possibilities, and makes a great Minecraft-themed gift for 6 plus year old boys, girls and gamers who love the video game and pretend play.
